As the legal saga surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs continues to unfold, speculation has swirled about who might be involved in the long list of alleged victims. One name that recently came up? Justin Bieber.
But according to the pop star’s team, that rumor isn’t true.
TMZ reports that a rep for Justin has spoken out to clear the air, saying, “Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him. Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.”
Diddy, 55, is facing multiple charges including sex trafficking, prostitution, racketeering conspiracy, and more. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Justin, now 30, had an early connection to Diddy when he was first breaking into the music scene. They were often seen together when Bieber was just 15 years old, and old interviews have resurfaced in light of the investigation, prompting fans to question what kind of relationship they really had.
Sources close to the situation also spoke to TMZ, describing Diddy’s early interactions with Justin as “performative.” Despite their public appearances, the insiders say the two didn’t have much of a relationship behind the scenes. Instead, Justin was more friendly with Diddy’s sons, Quincy and Justin Combs.
The clarification comes as social media has been abuzz with theories, particularly after several celebrities have recently come forward with allegations or implications about inappropriate behavior linked to Diddy.
While Bieber has stayed silent on the matter publicly, his team’s statement aims to refocus the narrative on those who were actually harmed. It’s a reminder not to get lost in speculation and internet sleuthing when real victims may be waiting for justice.
As for Diddy, the investigation is ongoing and expected to stretch out for some time. Whether more names come forward or are cleared, the music industry continues to brace itself for what might be revealed next.
